Christian Liberality
Blessed is he who considers the poor; the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
~ Psalm 41:1
"To think about the poor and let them lie on our hearts is a Christian's duty; for Jesus said, "The poor will always be with you."
Many give their money to the poor in a hurry, without thought; and many more give nothing at all. This precious promise belongs to those who "consider" the poor, devise plans for their benefit, and considerately carry them out. We can do more by care than by cash and most with the two together. To those who consider the poor, the Lord promises His own consideration in times of distress.
we shall have a time of trouble, however generous we may be: but if we are charitable, we may put in a claim for peculiar deliverance, and the Lord will not deny His own word and bond. As you have done unto others, so will the Lord do unto you. Empty your pockets."
(By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
